My grandson is joining us this morning. I promised he would eat French Toast the next time he stayed overnight. (Something not usually on our menu.) DH estimates that we received another 6 to 8 inches of snow last night.

Fan - I don't know if Holland will have festivities... probably. My daughter would hear before I would.
PattiT - Ok, ok. I'm posting the French Toast recipe, which is rather basic. But, I use dense cinnamon bread that makes it a treat.

Well, my sons Dr.s finally called him yesterday. They said they needed to run the tests again?? Now my son seems worried, although he told me it could turn out to be nothing. I surely don't think so, when I called him at 8 he was already in bed because he was exhausted. He used to run circles around everyone and had such energy. Sorry to keep going on about him, this seems like the only place I can talk about him.
My back and leg hurt so bad all night I didn't get much sleep. Enough whining from me.
**Fan, did you drink all those cocktails?? Just kidding, they sure looked very appetizing. We have Karydids here I have heard them many times, but I don't think I ever saw one. I hate grasshoppers because I am always afraid one will jump on me, and this looks like a jumper also so I am probably glad I never saw one.
**Vicki, thank you for placating me. I love french toast. That is a recipe I am always playing around with. Wow, you sure are getting the snow. We are supposed to get some starting about 3 this afternoon. I hope it doesn't amount to much, since we are going to the final winter swim meet._________________Patti

Vicki - same here, we are getting a good snow shower this morning...it's the fine snow with wind. The roads were awful coming home on Thur, the rain had frozen so the roads were nothing but ice, we slid a few times.

PattiT - funny, growing up I didn't care for French Toast now that I'm older my tastes have changed and I enjoy eating it. Hope your son gets good news, I hate that when docs do that -- do tests then decided they need to do an extra one or repeat it.

GOOD AFTERNOON GIRLS......Seems like I can not get on here everyday. If it wasn't for me being sick it's the fact that I feel I need to pay more attention to Jim! I'm still not feeling good, chilly, coughing up nasty stuff from my Lungs foot is hurting really bad and worrying about Jim finding a Job with Benefits. Jim's old company has the health insurance so screwed up I'd liker to scream. Sorry to Rant, but geesh if I was still in the work force I would have been fired several times if I screwed up like some of these people. Patti Have you heard anymore from your Son? I will so keep him in our prayers! Well I need to keep this short and go elevate my foot! I'm ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT YOU ALL!!_________________Debbie

I had a terrible busy day today. At 8.45 me, the other neighbours and shopkeepers gathered for a cup of coffee in order to line up in front of the fast food joint waiting for the funeral procession. The procession drove slowly into our street stopping in front of the fast food joint and we all kept a minute of silence, then the procession slowly continued and we joined driving our own cars. To me this was the most impressive part. Then the funeral services were held and we all took our "Tinie" to her resting place. In all there were probably around a hundred people attending besides the family, which was pretty impressive too.
Then in the afternoon I headed for Delft to have dinner with my distant cousin, which was a really nice thing after such a serious morning. We chit chatted about her up coming holiday trip to Japan. She asked me to make up a small Japanese vocabulary.
Debbie, sorry to hear you are not feeling very well. Is there any chance of Jim's old company making any repairs on the health insurance? How is your foot doing?
Ann-Marie, only 9 today ? Please drive carefully.
PattiT, they were delicious . The katydid on the pic was only a youngster and the size of an inch, but the adult ones come as big as 2 or 2,5 inches. I'll keep your son in my prayers.
Vicki, have fun with your grandson this weekend and enjoy the French toast.
Just one last burning question: Are you ready for the SUPERBOWL??????_________________Fanmajie

Fan - off this weekend. As for the Super Bowl, no big deal...neither Jim or I are interested in football.

{{{Debbie}}} - my sis had the body aches and cold...took her several weeks to get over it. These flu strains seem to be hanging on longer and longer as the years pass.

Went to our "new" super Walmart yesterday...they are making them now to look like the Sam's Clubs - nice though. Found a 3 piece set of Anchor Hocking baking dishes...needed a big one to make a pan of lasagna to take to work. Then later in the afternoon we went up to Thrifty Shopper, not many people out as it had snowed through the day. Found 3 Community cookbooks and one other cookbook.

The weather is awful today, it's raining off an on. So I slept in this morning and made a quick grocery run in between the raindrops However didn't buy any chicken wings and no buffalo sauce
Ann-Marie, are you gonna start knitting? I use to do that in class when I was in high school . No Superbowl for me either, it isn't even broadcasted over here.
{{{Debbie, Tango, PattiT and Carolyn}}}, hang in there. I'll keep you in my prayers._________________Fanmajie

Fan - no knitting for me...I have tons of plastic canvas books up in the hobby room, have been digging around in those looking for things to make for the girls at work. It's relaxing for me, especially after a rough day of work. _________________http://bakespace.com/?ann_marie_pa

Ann-Marie, too bad. I desperately need a pair of new socks matching my wooden shoes
Carolyn, just make sure you survive the Superbowl
Instead of the chicken wings with buffalo sauce, I made my self a spicy Thai style chicken curry for dinner.
